Cook’n Recipe Organization Software Giveaway!

I’ve been waiting for this one!  I LOVE to cook!  And I’ve been a HUGE fan of Cook’n Recipe Organization Software for 12 years now!  When I was given the opportunity to review their latest program I jumped all over it!  Cook’n is the number one, best-selling recipe organizer software.

It all started with a cookbook of recipes that was left to me by my Nanny (as grandmothers are called in the maritimes!).  It is a beautiful collection of handwritten and typed recipes, lovingly compiled in an old binder.  I love leafing through them and running across old favourites.  It is a walk down memory lane!  The book is getting quite old and falling apart, but I truly love it.  A couple years after I was married I decided it was time to put this cookbook into electronic format so I could print out copies for my family, and basically just to make sure it was preserved for future generations.

I ran across a program called Cook’n 2000 on the shelf at my local electronic store and thought I’d give it a try.  I’ve never looked back!  Last week, as I waited for Cook’n 10 to download and open I was like a kid in a candy store.  What secrets would await me?

Finally I was all set.  Poppet was in bed, and now was my time.  I clicked on the little strawberry icon and the program launched.

Such a clean interface!  And super easy to navigate through.  I quickly added a new cookbook to my virtual bookshelf, complete with chapters and categories.  Then I typed in a couple of new recipes.  Perfect!  I was in the mood for something new, so I ventured to the search feature.  Selected “search the entire web” and looked up Beer Bread on BigOven.com.  Up popped the recipe I included for last week’s “What’s for Supper Sunday“.  One more click on “Capture” and it was seamlessly imported to Cook’n.  THIS PROGRAM ROCKS!!!!  Check out the demo video!

I went back to the recipes I had typed by hand.  I decided to jazz it up a bit, so selected a new page theme and added a photo.  I see I can also add a video if I like.

Being the new(er) mum that I am, trying to lose that stubborn baby weight, I clicked on the “Nutritional Facts” button and was greeted with a fully comprehensive list, including daily nutritional values.  I decided to add Maple Glazed Meatballs to my weekly menu (Cook’n 10 automatically adjusted the recipe amounts for the number of people I wanted to serve), printed out a shopping list and headed to the store!  What else could I want?

Not wanting to get my computer dirty (I am the World’s MESSIEST cook!”, I decided to print my recipe out.  I had the option of everything from a recipe card up to a full sheet of paper.  Cook’n even prints on the back side of cards.  I can even make a custom sheet size to put in a smaller binder.

The final icing on the cake:  Cook’n 10 is about to release Apps for iPhone, iPad and Android that will allow me to take my recipes with me!  Squee!

Can I say it any better?  I LOVE COOK’N 10 RECIPE ORGANIZATION SOFTWARE!  TWO HUGE OVEN MITT THUMBS UP!!!!
